You might not have asthma but I think learning the skill of breathing can still be beneficial for everyone, especially if you can‘t breathe lying down.
I recently started working on my breathing, because my asthma was getting extremely severe. Because of this, I learned about the Buteyko Method, which has now, after 4 weeks, helped me be almost completely symptomless and changed my life as a whole. As a side effect, I can now also breathe while lying down on my back.
So I‘d suggest looking into the Buteyko Method. (I read „close your mouth“ by Patrick McKeown). Improving your breathing is never a bad choice.
Having it harder to breathe on your back is pretty common, I had it too.
